Nintendo Is Serious About Nintendo Land

During Nintendo’s developer discussion, Wii U hardware producer Katsuya Eguchi said that Nintendo is serious about Nintendo Land. Eguchi promises that Nintendo Land will contain a lot of depth within each mini-game. Eguchi believes that unlike Wii Play, players will want to continue playing Nintendo Land with their friends or by themselves. Eguchi revealed that Nintendo’s name is in the game’s title to prove that they are serious about it and by doing this, they “are putting the Nintendo name on the line.” Nintendo Land will be released on Wii U at the console’s launch.

It would be nice if it’s included, it’s some kind of Mario Party/WiiU Tutorial to familiarize with the console. Otherwise, not so many people will buy it… It’s some kind of Miiverse Introduction as well.

Nintendo made it pretty obvious that it wasn’t going to be included. If it was, they would have said multiple times that it would be included with the console. They think the game is good enough to hold its own without being bundled.

do you have a confirmation source that in North America this wont be a launch title? Reggie hinted that it might…..stating a difference in Japanese and American strategies with in box games. just go to @GameOnAminka and @RichIGN twitter accounts to read some cool stuff!

Why wouldn’t they say its bundled? it would make sense to say it was if it was bundled. It would make people want to purchase the console because it comes with a decent, free game. Even if people don’t care about it, it couldn’t hurt to say it was bundled

Well Nintendo will probably announce all the specifics about the WiiU’s launch at the Tokyo Game show in September JUST LIKE in 2006 at the Nintendo World event, also held in September. E3 isn’t the superbowl. it’s not a contest, just an over glorified (by gaming media and people like us) tech demo show.

What’s wrong with Halo? Because its a shooter? If so that is a very ignorant way to view things. Halo 4 looks fantastic and one of the two games Microsoft showed this E3 that I actually want to play (that and South Park). Not to mention, it has colors compared to most shooters you guys complain about!

THIS IS FOR KIDS…. children do not watch the e3 A LOT, so parents can buy the wii u for them … On the other hand, it sucks!!!! According to IWATA, hardcore games would be the mos important matter… so??? wii u = such a disappointing device, FAIL!!!!!!!!!!

I like it too! I thought the idea of having different Nintendo characters in one game a good idea. I know there won’t be any cross overs but it’s still kwl, plus it means we get SOME Zelda for now! Plus it looks kwl cos it includes current things such as Luigi’s Mansion

at E3 they said that they wanted to focus on the Wii U games more than the actual system. And they spent a lot of time talking about this game, but it was kinda stupid, I would much rather hear about the Wii U itself rather than hear crap about a mini game collection

I has to be included, Seriously who is gonna buy a 50 dl game for 12 god damn minigames, when mario party has at least 70 the only way this game will sell is if it’s bundle if not it is gonna be a wii music case.

I’ve been seeing a lot of negative comments about this game. I for one am looking forward to it. This game seems like a nostalgia trip waiting to happen. Well, it feels that way to me, not so sure about everyone else.

Yes, it will have online. And if it didn’t, it would be “just another minigame title”, something the Wii was bombarded with. If Nintendo is trying to provide more 3rd party support, they wouldn’t make that mistake again. They said they’re taking this title seriously.

This is definitely something that should come packaged with the Wii U system. It’s got a broader appeal, and it really doesn’t seem like something Nintendo had to invest too much money into creating. But I don’t think people will rush out to buy it separately. Have it as a bundled title so people will enjoy it (because they will try it if it’s included, it’s hard to resist trying a game you’re given).

This game has to be included with the system. If they’re really serious about using it in the same way a Wii Play, it needs to come with the system so people will have a game to inroduce them to the Wii U Game Pad. I understand what they’re trying to do with this game.

From the decriptions I’ve read, the game is deceptively hard. We need to hear more from the show floor.

They really need to bundle this thing with the Wii U, or an extra controller like they did with Wii Play. Believe me, no one is going to buy Nintendoland and it is going to get low review scores from jounalists otherwise. It is a shame, this has obviously more effort put into it than Wii Sports or Play, but it is just effort they should of put into something like Metroid, F Zero or Star Fox
